This study aims to determine students' mathematical problem-solving abilities in linear program materials through problem-based learning (PBL) assisted by a Desmos graphing calculator. This research is qualitative descriptive research. The subject of this study is a class X student of Srijaya Negara High School, Palembang. Data collection uses tests, interviews, and observation methods. The analysis of test data was carried out by describing the subject's ability to solve mathematical problems, the analysis of interview data was carried out by transcribing the interview results into written form, and the analysis of observation data was carried out by making a brief description based on the observation results. The results of the study show that students' problem-solving skills in the medium category can be developed by applying a problem-based learning model assisted by the Desmos graphing calculator. This can be seen in students who can understand the problem presented, create a problem-solving plan in the form of a mathematical model, execute the plan using a Desmos graphing calculator, analyze the results obtained, and re-check the problem-solving process.
